Good interview at the link.
Guy is big souled and not bitter at all. He is just stepping away.
Cool hair for a guy his age.
Gives props to the rhythm guitarist who is filling in for Malcolm. I want to say he is Malcolm’s nephew.
Gives props to Chris Slade who is filling in for Chris Rudd who is embroiled in that crazy lawsuit.
Gives props to Axl Rose who has been filling in for Brian Johnson. I was talking just the other day to a guy who had seen AC/DC recently with Axl. There is an upside to not having Johnson up front. Apparently Johnson refuses to sing any of Bon Scott’s songs except for the smash hits that absolutely must be played. Axl is singing everything from the Bon Scott era including the obscure “deep cuts” from the early albums.
Stevie Young is the son of the late Steve Crawford Young, who was Malcolm and Angus’ eldest brother.
Stevie filled in for Malcolm back in 1988 as well, when Malcolm couldn’t tour due to being treated for alcohol addiction. He looked a lot like his uncle back then; some people weren’t aware that Malcolm wasn’t touring that year thanks to that, apparently.
Didn’t hear about Brian refusing to sing Bon-era songs of late. Most of the post-Bon-era songs after 1988 were credited to Young and Young, so that means that Brian spent only eight years writing lyrics out of his thirty-six years in the band; not a good idea to start being particular about what the band should play after all that time, and I’m not sure that he had that much input into set lists compared to the Young brothers.
Axl sound ok up there? Honestly never thought about this combo, but I could actually see A.R. pull it off....
